DIY Lego Crayons

Our house is all boy; We have no dolls, no princess accessories, and no frilly tutu skirts. What do you expect with four boys ages 7 to 1 running around?!? Legos on the other hand are a big part of our lives in this house. For Christmas, I thought it would be fun for my boys to share something they love with their friends, but legos can be expensive. After doing a little looking around, I found these adorable silicone lego molds that others have used to make little lego crayons. After making more than 60 lego crayons I have come up with the perfect way on how to make your own lego crayons. Here’s how . . .

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees before preparing all of the crayons.

Step 2: Remove Paper

Taking the paper off of all those old crayons can be very time consuming. BUT if the crayons are placed in a little lukewarm water for a few minutes the paper just slides right off.

The crayons take about 25-45 minutes to cool. –Jot (the Dollar Store) takes about 25 minutes to cool. Crayola takes about 35 minutes to cool. CraZart takes about 45 minutes to cool.–

Note: The crayons that melt the fastest take the longest to cool.

After the crayons are completely cool remove them from the molds. If a crayon cracks because it is was not cool enough, just put it back into the oven and re-melt it for a few minutes.

Step 6: Smooth/Melt Edges

Once the crayon has been removed, you will notice that the back of the crayon can have a ridge around the edges.

Place the crayon down, with the back side on a warm skillet, and move around until slightly melted.

Then immediately wipe the warm back of the crayon onto a paper towel. This will create a smooth back to the crayon. Also, wipe out the pan with a paper towel while the wax is still warm.

Step 7: Package

Now these adorable crayons are ready to be wrapped up and given to friends for Christmas, valentines, birthday, or even placed into Christmas stockings. Enjoy!
